They’ll send you this music C.O.D.—in other words, paid on delivery. Despite the exceptionally low price (25¢ per page of Oedipe and 16¢ for Apollo*) the total sum is considerable given that all [the pages] appear twice (positive and negative). Let’s hope this enormous expense doesn’t turn you away from my music for a while. Word of honor—I had nothing to do with it, it was you who wanted this. A hot wind is blowing from the desert—after forty days in New York with its spring showers, this makes one meditate on the imperfections of human physiology, and it is difficult to get back to work. How happy I was to see you again and to know you were in the room when I was conducting Apollo. I'm in the process of rehearsing the Dumbarton Oaks Concerto for the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles’ Modern Music concert. Today we are missing the two horns and a contrabass, tomorrow probably others and the concert is May 22—how nice! Merritt wrote me a very kind letter regarding my concert at the Fogg Museum. Have you had any news? Love and kisses, I Stravinsky *Approximately � Stravinsky à Boulanger 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood, California le 18 mai 1943 Tres chere Nadia, Vous recevrez ces jours-ci les photostates (negatives & positives) des partitions d’orchestre d’Œdipe et Apollon, comme convenu, de la Economy Blue Print Co.

Malgre le prix exceptionellement bas (25¢ la page d’ŒDIPE et 16¢ celle d’Apollon*) la somme totale est impressionante vu que le tout est en double (positive et negative). Pourvu que cette enorme depense ne vous detourne pas pour longtemps de ma musique; parole d’honneur—je n’y suis pour rien, c’est vous que l’avez voulu. Il souffle un vent chaud du desert—après 40 jours de New York avec ses giboulees de printemps cela fait mediter sur l’imperfection de la physiologie humaine et on a de la peine a se remettre au travail.

It will be so good to meet up for such an occasion. Would Vera truly take care of it for me? The Concerto went well, and seems clearer, more beautiful to me after this new work. The musicians were all happy to work with such diligent care. It is so good to see them understand it and to find therein a calm and dignity too often forgotten.

Strawinsky 1260 N. Wetherly Dr. Hollywood California March 16, 1943 Dear Igor, How dear your thoughts are to me. How I miss you, you and Vera. It is so silly, we have so little time, [it is] fleeting, and we make such poor use of it! I do, at least. Undoubtedly, in facing this dreary, mundane work, one makes a living, but . . . that which we’re given passes quickly, and we miss our only true opportunities by losing contact with those we love. When will you be in NY? Can you not come as far as here? I’ll doubtless see you, at least I will do my best. But I would so like for my students to speak to you, or rather, to listen to you. I’m sending you the Sonata in the same package. Sorry to be so late. You couldn’t imagine the dreadful, absurd life I lead. It’s ridiculous, and inexcusable, but one cannot escape the system. And yet . . . one really must! This week is my week of reflection, a good twenty-five years since my little sister died, [and] on Friday it will be eight years since Mother is no longer [with us]. I ask myself: Which is greater, the inconsolable pain of having lost them, or the enduring joy of having lived in their shadow and their light? You know, don’t you, that I never forget your mother, nor Catherine, nor Mika— and in my memories, they hold a very real place. I see them, and it is my consolation, this certainty of neither being able nor wanting to forget. A thousand questions run through my mind—I would like very much to know what you have done, how you are, etc. etc. All this winter, I have lived with your work, and every day I understand better all that, though knowing it note by note, one never completely understands. What the works, the true works, contain is inexhaustible. But excuse all these excessive and awkward words—one alone would have sufficed—see you soon. You are going to receive a note from Tom Whittemore. He is arriving from Turkey where he was working in [Hagia] Sophia and is a great friend of the Princesse de Polignac. I would be happy if he were able to see you. He truly hopes to, and deserves it, because he is one of those really good people. Kiss Vera, and know that I am always wholeheartedly yours. Nadia B.

C’est si bête—on a un peu de temps, fugitif—et on le dépense si mal ! Moi, du moins—sans doute, on fait face au petit misérable devoir matériel, on gagne sa vie, mais…ce qui nous est donné passe vite, et nous perdons nos seules vraies chances en perdant le contact avec ceux que nous aimons.

Je vous envoie la Sonate par le même courrier pardon d’avoir tant tardé. Vous ne pouvez [pas] vous imaginer la vie effroyable et absurde que je mène. C’est idiot, et sans excuses, mais l’engrenage, on n’échappe pas. Et puis…il faut bien !

Je me demande ce qui domine, l’inconsolable douleur de les avoir perdues, ou l’impérissable joie d’avoir vécu dans leur ombre, et de [sic] leur lumière. Vous savez n’est-ce- pas, que je n’oublie jamais, ni votre mère, ni Catherine, ni Mica—et dans mes souvenirs, elles tiennent une place si réelle, je les vois, et c’est notre consolation, cette certitude de ne pouvoir ni ne vouloir oublier. Mille questions se pressent dans mon esprit—je voudrais tant savoir ce que vous avez fait, comment vous allez, etc. etc. Tout cet hiver je l’ai vécu avec votre œuvre—et chaque jour je comprends mieux tout ce que, la connaissant pourtant note par note, on ne comprend jamais complètement. Ce que les œuvres, les vraies contiennent est inépuisable. Mais pardon de tous ces mots superflus, et gauches—un seul aurait suffi—à bientôt. Vous allez recevoir un mot de Tom Whittemore.
